Gregor and the prophecy of love

chapter 6

Angelina and larry go bathe, without the explanation they were hoping for. While Luxa and I go get into our armor for training with Mareth.
It feels good to be out on the field again, luxa is trying to teach me to do a cartwheel again, and I am failing miserably.  "Gregor! How many times must I say it, hand, hand, foot, foot, not both hands then both feet!" She yells at me. After landing on my butt for about the 100 time, Larry and Angelina walk in.
"Great job Gregor!  I think hes finally getting the hang of it!" Angelina says laughing
"Haha very funny" I yell back then just prove that I can do it because she made me mad, I try again, and to my surprise I land it. "Gregor! You did it! I knew the hours of trying to teach you would pay off!" Luxa says and runs up and hugs me.
Just then Mareth walks in "Sorry I'm late, but lets get some training in."
"training? " Larry asks
"Two words, blood balls." I say with a smile,  I haven't gotten to use a sword in so long, but when Mareth hands me a sword, I'm surprised to see its my sword, the one I inherited from Sandwich. "How?" Is all I ask, but to seems to understand. "We had a new blade put on it, it wont be exactly the same but pretty close. " he responds. "Thanks" I say.
I take a few practice swings,  and he was right it is pretty close to the old one.
I look over and see Luxa finishing up her round with the blood balls,  she hit 9. "Luxa! Congratulations!  You can hit 2 more than last time I did this with you!" I say. "Ive been practicing. " she says, obviously proud of herself. "Ok Larry would you like to try?" Mareth asks Larry "uhm yes! How hard can it be to hit 15 balls" Larry walks over to the canons with the sword Mareth gave him, and waited. When the blood balls started flying, Larry swung the sword in front of him like a maniac,  he only hit 4. "Fours not bad I guess, but it was harder than I thought.  How many did you hit your first try gregor?" Larry asks obviously hoping I hit less, hes gonna be disappointed.

"He hit the total" Howard says walking in. "The total? As in all of them?"  He asks dumbfounded "Yup! All 15!" I say "ok ok enough bragging, Gregor, Angelina its your turn." Mareth says. Angelina heads over, determined,  she hits 2. "Dont say anything!" She said angrily "ok, Hey Mareth! Can I try it with my eyes closed? I want to practice. " I say mainly just to show off, also because I have never tried hitting the blood balls using echo location.  "Gregor! Now your just showing off, you have several advantages,  you are the Warrior,  and a Rager, and you know echolocation!" Luxa says "yeah so what your the queen! And you have been doing this stuff since you were little." I say and walk over to the canons.

As they shoot out, I immediately close my eyes,  and activate my rager side. I can see with my echolocation pretty clearly now, even with just the sound of my breathing. When they stop coming I look down and see the shells of all 15.

"Ok now time for some real training, Warrior. Get on your flier. " Ripred says as he entered the Arena. 
I run and jump and immediately Ares is under me. We swoop, and I try to tag Ripred, but end up getting hit by his claw and I fall off ares. "Your out of practice boy!" He snarls "how was I supposed to practice in the overland? I would have to worry about my rager side taking over, if that happened there is not question I could kill the person." I say back. "True true, but you were good enough to kill that 16 foot white protogè of mine." Hes talking about my fight with Pearlpelt, The Bane. "16 feet?!" Larry and Angelina say synchronized. "Ah yes him. If only I had killed him when I first met him, I wouldn't habe gottwn most of these scars,  Ares wouldn't have been injured,  and alot of lives would have been  saved" I say blaming myself again. "You would have been just as bad as him if you had done that." I know its just, I can help but blame , myself.

We head off to lunch, we are having that weird potato stuff, pudding, shrimp and cream sauce, fish, and those plum like fruits from the jungle. "Your highness you know me so well." Ripred says shoving his snout in the shrimp and cream sauce.  "We are bonds, so I guess I must." Luxa says. Vikus and his flier Euripides come in then, "Gregor, I think it is time you  should inform Gregors mother and father of your intentions. " he said.
I had been thinking about that, how will they respond when they find out about the prophecy,  or that I am going to marry Luxa and stay in the underland.
"I agree,  but I think I should be there when he does, I am the one whom he is going to marry " Luxa says.
"Luxa, you know I cant send you to the overland,  you would stand out and draw attention to yourself. " Vikus replies sadly. "We can go up through the laundry room,  then we wont even be seen. And if we are seen I can protect her. Please let her come, its not right for me to tell them without her." I tell him.
"Fine, but you can't get hurt either Gregor, you are the Warrior,  and the future king of Regalia." He says. I sigh in relief.

"Well we should probably tell them today, the sooner the better." Luxa says. "Yes we can leave right after lunch,  we should probably bring Larry and Angelina home when we go." I say. "What no! We are staying!" They say in response. We apperently aren't going to convince them otherwise.

We meet Ares and Aurora in the high hall, and head off. We left larry and Angelina, they are going to be trained some more, because frankly they need all the help they can get.
When we get to the laundry room we say goodbye to the fliers,  and they say they will return in a few hours.  But when we turn aroubd we are greeted by mrs. Cormaci . "Gregor! You just left! But im glad you are safe. Oh you must be Luxa! What are you doing in the overland? " she asks. "Well we have some news, can you come to the apartment? " I say the we walk up to the apartment.  I take a deep breath before I walk in, when we do we are practically ambushed by my family.  "Gregor! Your back! And you brought Queen Luxa" Grace said.
"Yeah we have some news" luxa says with a smile.
